Mawbey Family Tragedy - Breelong, NSW, Australia - Community Commemoration on Waymarking.com

The Gilgandra Rotary Club has placed a hexagonal-prism moulded-block of concrete at the Breelong Rest Area, with a circular Orientation Table on top. But on the side is the Community Commemorative plaque, for the 100 year anniversary of the murder of four members of the Mawbey Family in July 1900.

The plaque is delicately detailed, with a repeating leafy/seed pattern on the edge, with a twig and gum tree seed pods depicted at the top-right, and treed rural scene to the lower-left. The inscription of the plaque is:
